The Dead Sea

The Dead Sea is in the east of Israel,
on the border with Jordan.



It is called "Dead Sea" because there
are no fish in it because there is a lot of salt in the water and fish cannot breathe.

We use the Salt from the sea for many
things: cooking, there are special bath salts; these salts are good for our health, and sometimes we use them to make medicine.

There are many hotels on the beach and
people come from all over the world to swim in the sea. dead-sea.jpgE - Eilat
